Did you know that some people use vodka to clean certain items of their clothing? A recent video on this topic, shared by the official account of the Dutch National Opera & Ballet, has taken Instagram by storm. In the reel, Sanne Kamp, a dresser of the Junior Company, explains that she sprays vodka to clean some of the costumes used by the group. Wondering why? She states, "These tutus are handmade, so we cannot put them in a washing machine. So, we spray vodka on them. And that kills all the smell and the bacteria. And we don't have to send it to the dry cleaner." She specifies that she uses a plant spray to spray the vodka inside the costumes after they are worn.

Furthermore, she explains, "Vodka is not only nice for costumes. You can also use it on your own vintage clothing. After going out, I take my vodka at home and I put it inside my jacket." As she speaks, she matches her actions with her words. After spraying her jacket with vodka, she says that she simply hangs it and puts it in her closet the following day.

Read some of the reactions below.
"I have a vintage coat that I got at an op shop. It reeked of body odour in the armpits. I had it dry-cleaned. I aired it in the sun. I washed it. Stain remover. The only thing that worked was vodka."
"I thought she was going to say 'Vodka is not only nice for costumes, you can also use it to drink'."
"Take a shot then spray the costumes... multi-purpose."
"I use this in theatre - my favourite costume (and general fabric) trick. Vodka is cheaper than febreeze, and is chemical-free so the risk of allergic reactions is slim. Use unflavored vodka, and do not dilute."
"Works like a charm. I've doing it for years. Sneakers, jackets etc. Washing clothes a lot deteriorates them fast."
"I worked at a bridal shop and we would clean some of the dresses this way."
"So THAT's the order: first pirouettes, then vodka! I've always been doing it wrong..."
"When the clothes are the alcoholics in the family."
